1. Eligibility, Adult Use, and Authority

The Services are intended for adults. The Services are not intended for children to use directly.

We may suspend or terminate access if we believe an account is being used by a minor, by an unauthorized person, or in a way that creates legal, safety, security, or operational risk.

  • You are at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this agreement.
  • You are the parent, legal guardian, or another authorized adult caregiver for each child whose information is entered into the Services.
  • You have the right and authority to provide child information, health information, routines, notes, reminders, measurements, milestones, and other content submitted through the Services.
  • The information you provide is accurate, current, and complete to the best of your knowledge.
  • Your use of the Services does not violate any court order, custody arrangement, professional obligation, or law applicable to you.

2. What the Services Do

The Services are a technology platform for family recordkeeping, reminders, routine tracking, summaries, community benchmarking, premium features, and AI-assisted informational outputs.

The Services may help you record or view information related to feeding, sleep, diapers, growth, medicine, temperature, doctor visits, routines, milestones, reminders, food suggestions, care guidance, community insights, weekly summaries, and doctor briefs.

The Services are designed to support organization and reflection. They are not a substitute for adult supervision, professional care, emergency services, or medical judgment.

3. Not Medical Advice, Diagnosis, or Treatment

The Services are not a medical device, healthcare provider, pharmacy service, clinical decision system, emergency service, or substitute for a licensed pediatrician or other qualified professional.

The Services do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prescription, medication dosing instructions, emergency triage, or professional healthcare services.

You must use your own judgment and consult a licensed pediatrician or other qualified healthcare professional before making medical, nutritional, medication, developmental, sleep, safety, or childcare decisions for a child.

No doctor-patient, nurse-patient, therapist-patient, dietitian-patient, or other professional-client relationship is created by your use of the Services.

4. Non-Emergency Use Only

The Services are for non-emergency use only.

Do not rely on the Services for urgent, time-sensitive, or life-threatening situations. The Services do not contact emergency responders, hospitals, poison centers, clinicians, pharmacies, or caregivers for you.

If you believe a child may be sick, injured, having an allergic reaction, having trouble breathing, having a seizure, experiencing abnormal temperature symptoms, showing signs of dehydration, choking, or otherwise needing urgent care, contact local emergency services, your pediatrician, a poison center, or the nearest emergency department immediately.

5. AI-Assisted Features and Automation

Some features may use automated systems, machine learning, or third-party AI providers to generate or assist with food suggestions, care guidance, doctor briefs, summaries, insights, community observations, and other informational outputs.

AI-assisted outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, unavailable, or inappropriate for a child's specific circumstances. Outputs may depend on user-entered data, inferred context, third-party model behavior, historical logs, health profile details, location/weather context, and other information that may be incomplete or wrong.

Unless we expressly say otherwise in writing, AI-assisted outputs are not reviewed or approved by licensed medical professionals for your specific child before delivery to you. Labels such as "guidance," "insight," "summary," "brief," "suggestion," or "recommendation" do not mean the content is medical advice.

You are responsible for reviewing AI-assisted outputs before relying on, sharing, printing, emailing, or discussing them with others.

6. Food, Feeding, Medicine, Temperature, and Care Guidance

The Services may present informational suggestions related to feeding approaches, baby food, routines, weather-aware bath guidance, temperatures, medicines, doctor-visit preparation, and other care topics.

Food suggestions do not account for every allergy, intolerance, choking hazard, feeding skill, medical restriction, cultural preference, religious practice, local food safety issue, or pediatric recommendation. Always supervise meals, use safe food sizes and textures, avoid choking hazards, watch for allergic reactions, and consult a pediatrician or qualified professional for feeding concerns.

Medicine-related content is observational and organizational only. It is not a dosage calculator, prescription checker, pharmacy service, poison-control substitute, medication interaction checker, or emergency triage tool. Always follow professional medical advice, product labels, and applicable law.

Reminders and notifications are convenience tools. The Services must never be your sole medication or care safeguard. Delivery can be delayed, blocked, duplicated, silenced, or missed because of permissions, device settings, operating-system limits, network availability, clock or timezone changes, reinstall, logout, account switching, synchronization conflicts, or service outages. A notification does not establish that medicine or care was actually given.

Before giving medicine, independently verify the child, medicine, dose, route, time, instructions, expiration, and prescriber or product label. Caregivers must communicate directly and check the actual care record to avoid a missed dose or duplicate administration. Use an independent alarm and written or clinician-approved plan when timely administration is important.

Temperature and wellness guidance may rely on user-entered data, historical logs, location, weather data, or third-party sources, any of which may be incomplete, delayed, unavailable, or inaccurate.

7. Growth Charts, Community Insights, and Benchmarks

Growth charts, percentiles, community comparisons, age-week benchmarks, routine stability indicators, readiness cards, and similar analytics are informational only.

These outputs may be derived from public reference standards, user-entered data, de-identified or aggregated community data, app usage patterns, and internal calculations. They may be unavailable, delayed, filtered, unrepresentative, or based on limited sample sizes.

Comparative or percentile-style outputs are not clinical assessments. You must not use them to self-diagnose, delay care, replace pediatric evaluation, determine treatment, or conclude that a child is healthy or unhealthy.

We may change, remove, limit, or adjust benchmarks, formulas, cohorts, eligibility criteria, thresholds, and insight displays at any time.

8. Child Data, Analytics, and Aggregated Data

To provide the Services, we may process child-related information that you choose to enter, including child profile details, health profile details, feeding logs, sleep logs, diapers, medicine logs, temperature logs, doctor visits, growth measurements, milestones, routines, notes, reminders, and related metadata.

Analytics, event measurement, product interaction data, account identifiers, entitlement status, language, country or coarse location, consent status, device/platform information, and similar operational data are essential to the Services. We use them to operate, secure, debug, improve, personalize, measure, and provide the Services.

By using the Services, you understand that essential analytics are not optional within the Services. If you do not want this processing, you must not use the Services, except where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to object or opt out.

If community benchmarking is enabled by an authorized account holder, we may transform eligible records into de-identified or aggregated age-week metrics and use those aggregates to operate community insights, analytics, quality control, product improvement, and future user-facing benchmarks.

We do not intentionally send raw free-text notes, child names, exact dates of birth, exact measurements, medicine names, food names, or message contents to product analytics providers unless needed to provide a specific requested feature, investigate abuse, comply with law, or resolve support, security, or operational issues.

De-identified, aggregated, or derived data does not identify a specific child or account and may be retained and used to operate the Services, generate benchmarks, improve quality, develop features, conduct analytics, and support lawful business purposes, subject to applicable law.

Revoking a consent stops future inclusion of newly eligible data in the applicable optional feature, but it does not retract outputs already delivered to you, aggregate metrics already created, analytics already processed, or records we are permitted or required to retain for security, billing, legal, compliance, fraud prevention, or operational purposes.

Our data practices are described further in our Privacy Policy.

9. Shared Care and Caregiver Coordination

You are responsible for account security, device security, passwords, authentication methods, notification settings, and deciding who may access synced family information.

If you share an account, device, export, email, printed menu, doctor brief, summary, notification, or app access with a spouse, co-parent, caregiver, household member, doctor, or other recipient, that person may be able to view, copy, forward, disclose, or act on your content.

An owner may invite another authorized adult as a shared caregiver. By sending or accepting an invitation, you represent that you have lawful authority to share or access the child's information and that doing so does not violate a custody order, family agreement, professional duty, or law. The owner controls the child profile and may remove caregivers or delete it. A shared caregiver may leave but cannot delete a child profile owned by someone else.

Shared caregivers may view sensitive information and may add, edit, or delete records within their permissions. Leaving or removal ends future access but may not remove historical contributions from the owner's journal; those contributions may remain in anonymized form. Owners must revoke access promptly when it is no longer authorized.

The Services do not verify or decide parentage, guardianship, custody, medical authority, or caregiver disputes. A shared log is not proof that care occurred. Caregivers must communicate directly to prevent contradictory instructions, missed care, or a duplicate dose.

You must not use the Services to access, enter, disclose, or manipulate child-related information unless you have authority to do so.

10. Doctor Briefs, Weekly Reviews, and Exports

The Services may send push notifications, emails, summaries, doctor briefs, reminders, printed menus, or other outputs at your direction or according to your settings.

Notifications, emails, PDFs, prints, or shared outputs may display child names, reminders, care details, notes, summaries, doctor brief information, feeding suggestions, or other sensitive information on lock screens, inbox previews, printers, shared devices, forwarded messages, or recipient accounts.

You are responsible for confirming recipients, printer access, notification settings, device privacy controls, and sharing choices before enabling or using these features.

Delivery, printing, and export are not guaranteed. Messages or outputs may be delayed, blocked, duplicated, misrouted, unavailable, incomplete, or viewed by unintended recipients if you configure them incorrectly or use shared systems.

Doctor briefs, weekly reviews, summaries, PDFs, and emails may omit entries, include incorrect or stale data, contain AI-generated errors, or fail to reflect the child's complete medical history. They are not official medical records, referrals, prescriptions, diagnoses, or clinician-approved care plans. Review every output before relying on or sharing it.

You are responsible for confirming the recipient address and authority before sending health-related information. Once an output leaves the Services, recipients and their systems may copy, retain, forward, or disclose it outside our control.

11. Subscriptions, Premium Features, Billing, and Auto-Renewal

Some features are available only through paid subscriptions or premium entitlements, such as multi-baby support, premium insights, community insights, advanced summaries, doctor briefs, food suggestions, or other features shown in the app.

Subscriptions may automatically renew unless canceled before renewal through Apple, Google, RevenueCat, or another applicable billing provider. By purchasing a subscription, you authorize recurring charges according to the terms shown at purchase.

Pricing, trial eligibility, promotional offers, taxes, renewal timing, included features, and entitlement limits may change with notice where required by law.

Refunds, cancellations, billing disputes, credits, charge timing, family sharing, payment failures, and subscription management are governed by the store or billing provider that processed the purchase.

Restoration or synchronization of entitlements may be delayed, unavailable, or dependent on third-party systems. We may provide limited fallback behavior where required or appropriate, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access to premium features if third-party billing, entitlement, app store, network, or device systems are unavailable.

12. App Stores and Platform Terms

If you download or purchase the app through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or another platform, your use may also be governed by that platform's terms, payment rules, app license terms, refund policies, and usage rules.

If Apple or Google terms apply and conflict with these Terms in a way that cannot legally be reconciled, the platform terms may control only to the extent required for that conflict.

For an app obtained through the Apple App Store, this agreement is between you and Adolfo Gutierrez d/b/a The Baby Journal, not Apple. Your license is a non-transferable license to use the app on Apple-branded products you own or control as permitted by Apple's Usage Rules, including applicable Family Sharing, volume purchasing, and Legacy Contact provisions.

We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the app and its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support. If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any; Apple has no other warranty obligation to the maximum extent permitted by law. We, not Apple, are responsible for product-liability, legal or regulatory, consumer-protection, privacy, and intellectual-property claims concerning the app.

You represent that you are not in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as terrorism-supporting and are not on a U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You must comply with applicable third-party terms. Apple and Apple subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them after your acceptance.

Google Play and other platform billing, refund, subscription-management, and usage rules also apply. Nothing here reduces a right or remedy given by the applicable store or mandatory law.

13. User Content and License

You retain ownership of the content you submit through the Services.

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, format, adapt, display, create derivative outputs from, and otherwise process your content as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, maintain, improve, and support the Services; sync information; generate requested outputs; provide subscriptions; perform analytics and quality control; create de-identified or aggregated data; comply with law; and enforce these Terms.

You represent that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and to submit the content you provide.

14. Acceptable Use

You must not misuse the Services.

  • Use the Services for unlawful, harmful, deceptive, abusive, infringing, or unauthorized purposes.
  • Enter information about a child unless you have authority to do so.
  • Use the Services to provide, sell, or market unauthorized medical, nutritional, therapeutic, or professional advice.
  • Use AI-assisted outputs as medical advice or represent them as professional advice.
  • Upload, enter, or share content that violates another person's rights, privacy, confidentiality, or safety.
  • Interfere with, disrupt, overload, scrape at scale, reverse engineer, probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Services except as permitted by law.
  • Circumvent subscriptions, entitlements, usage limits, security controls, or access controls.
  • Misuse another person's account, device, data, payment method, or identity.
  • Use the Services to train competing models, build a competing product, or extract data except as expressly permitted by us in writing.

15. Third-Party Services and Providers

The Services rely on third-party providers and platforms, which may include Clerk, Apple Sign In, Google Sign-In, Convex, PostHog, RevenueCat, Apple App Store, Google Play, OpenRouter and underlying AI model providers, Resend, Expo push notification services, Open-Meteo, cloud providers, hosting providers, security providers, analytics providers, and other infrastructure partners.

Their availability, terms, privacy practices, pricing, performance, output quality, and security may be outside our direct control. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for failures caused solely by third-party services. This does not waive duties applicable law assigns to us, including duties concerning our selection, configuration, or use of providers.

16. Service Availability and Changes

We may add, remove, limit, modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature, content, entitlement, integration, region, provider, AI model, benchmark, cohort, subscription plan, or service at any time.

We may discontinue, shut down, or stop offering all or part of the Services, including the app itself, at any time, subject to any notice, refund, cancellation, data access, or other rights required by applicable law or app store rules.

We do not guarantee that the Services will be available continuously, error-free, secure, current, compatible with every device, or free from data loss.

We may perform maintenance, deploy updates, change providers, update models, reset development data, modify app flows, or change feature eligibility where needed to operate the Services.

17. Intellectual Property

The Services, including software, design, graphics, text, logos, trademarks, names, icons, workflows, prompts, outputs generated by our systems, benchmark logic, interfaces, and other original content, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property and other laws.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the Services for your personal, internal family-tracking purposes.

No rights are granted except as expressly stated in these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the Services except as permitted by law or authorized by us in writing.

18. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, bug reports, feature requests, or other feedback, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, modify, commercialize, and incorporate that feedback without compensation or obligation to you.

19. Termination and Suspension

You may stop using the Services at any time. You may also request deletion of certain information as described in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend, limit, or terminate your access if we believe you violated these Terms, your account creates risk, your use may harm a child or another party, required third-party services become unavailable, or we are required or permitted to do so by law.

After termination, provisions that by their nature should survive will survive, including provisions about data, analytics, aggregated data, user content licenses, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, governing law, and dispute resolution.

20. Account Deletion

You may permanently delete your account through Settings → Account → Delete account, subject to identity reverification. Once confirmed, we delete your Clerk authentication identity, account profile, and baby profiles you own together with their associated journal data. For a baby owned by another user, we remove your access; contributions needed in that owner's journal may remain in anonymized form without your email or display identity.

Deletion is irreversible after identity confirmation. Obtain any copy you lawfully need before deleting. An offline or unreachable device may temporarily retain a notification already scheduled by its operating system. The Services must not be your only medication or care safeguard.

Deleting your Baby Journal account does not cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription, stop recurring billing, request a refund, or alter store billing records. Cancel separately through Apple or Google. Narrow security, billing, legal, dispute, fraud-prevention, provider, and de-identified aggregate records may remain as explained in the Privacy Policy.

21. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available," with all faults and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory.

Where permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, security, quiet enjoyment, and suitability for your needs.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, current, complete, virus-free, compatible with every device, or that any output, reminder, benchmark, AI result, suggestion, notification, email, print, export, entitlement, or third-party data will be accurate, complete, timely, or appropriate. Nothing here disclaims a warranty or remedy that cannot legally be disclaimed.

22. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or changes any non-waivable consumer right, statutory warranty, remedy, burden of proof, or liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude or limit. This includes liability that cannot lawfully be disclaimed for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury, unlawful processing of personal information, security or breach-notification duties, or defective services.

For users acting in a trade or business, and only to the maximum extent permitted by law, The Baby Journal, our licensors, and providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, consequential, punitive, or enhanced damages, or loss of profits, goodwill, or business opportunity. This business-user limitation does not apply to consumer use or any non-waivable right or liability.

Where a limitation is not enforceable, liability will be determined under applicable law. The medical, reminder, AI, and shared-care warnings describe the Services' intended scope; they do not excuse duties imposed by law.

23. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, and only for losses caused by your unlawful or willful conduct, material breach, or violation of another person's rights, you agree to indemnify The Baby Journal against third-party claims and reasonable, documented costs arising from your content, knowing misuse, lack of authority, unlawful sharing, or disputes you cause between caregivers or recipients.

24. Privacy and Security Incidents

Our Privacy Policy is a notice explaining how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information and the choices or rights that may apply. It is not a waiver of privacy rights.

No system is completely secure. If we discover a security incident or breach, we will investigate, contain, document, and notify affected people, regulators, consumer-reporting bodies, or others when required by law. Nothing in these Terms waives, narrows, or transfers a statutory security or breach-notification duty.

If there is a conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy about privacy practices, the Privacy Policy will control for that specific privacy issue.

25. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When required by law, we will provide notice through the app, website, email, or another reasonable method.

We will identify the effective date and version. If a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we will provide prominent notice and request affirmative acceptance when required. Continued use alone will not replace affirmative consent where law requires it.

26. Governing Law, Dispute Notice, and Forum

These Terms are governed by the laws of Honduras, except that mandatory laws of your place of residence may also apply and take priority where they cannot be waived.

Before filing a dispute, you and The Baby Journal are encouraged to send a written description to info@thebabyjournalapp.com and allow a reasonable opportunity to resolve it. This voluntary process does not shorten a limitation period, require arbitration, prevent urgent relief, or restrict access to a regulator, consumer authority, or court.

Consumers may bring claims in any forum available under mandatory law, including a competent forum at the consumer's domicile where applicable. Business users consent, where enforceable, to competent courts in San Pedro Sula, Cortes, Honduras. Nothing limits a non-waivable consumer right or remedy.

27. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented for a specific feature or purchase, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services.

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction.

Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
